Age and Dad at the Park

AJ looks forward to Aaron's arrival every day. He spends about 15 minutes running from the living room to the door to check if he can see Dad yet. Usually we have dinner right away and then the boys spend an hour playing off all their energy.

With the beautiful weather finally here the boys are spending more and more time at the park across the street. They are always gone longer than they mean to be and AJ usually tells me to stay home. (I think I am to slow and interrupt their fun!) Friday night I decided to take the camera over and get a few pictures. I'm no photographer but I got a few cute shots and wanted to post some for our family back home.

A few weeks ago AJ found a bug over at Lyndsey's house and ever since then he's been very OCD about them. He will crawl around on the floor looking for anything that looks like it might be a bug and then come get one of us to kill it. He will even run over and bring us a tissue to scoop it up in. This happends ALL DAY LONG which may make you wonder why we have so many bugs running around our houses. Don't worry our apartments are clean, about 98% the "bug's" are nothing more than lint, a small pice of paper, old string, etc. but he still freaks out. We want to help him get over this fear, so here is AJ holding his first Ant.

AJ loves learning about new animals and going to the Zoo to see them all. As soon as he got up in this tree he started making Monkey sounds and acting like a little monkey, it was too cute. Don't worrie Grandpma's Aaron was always close by in case of an accident!

I am a fun loving, party planning, social bug with the most amazing, down to earth husband. We may be polar opposits but it works and we love it! We have three young boys to keep us on our toes and help us find something to smile about each and every day. Life isn't always easy but my boys certainly make it worth it. Southern Alberta will always be home but as we pay our dues in Portland it has truly gained a special place in my heart. Feel free to follow along in our crazy adventures.
